Twitch API in an extension

[BarryCarlyon]

You shouldn’t wrap it in document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(){

But otherwise your code seems correct, other than you didn’t parse the result to JSON but I don’t use XHR

Hey Barry, can you help me validate if this is the correct method to obtaining the userID.

The user ID doesn’t need an API call, the userID is in window.Twitch.ext.viewer.id - https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/extensions/reference/#helper-viewer if the user has logged into the extension.
